Solve 4y+12x=(-78)

$$4 y + 12 x = ( - 78 )$$

Solve for x

$$x=-\frac{y}{3}-\frac{13}{2}$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Subtract 4y from both sides.

$$12x=-78-4y$$

The equation is in standard form.

$$12x=-4y-78$$

Divide both sides by 12.

$$\frac{12x}{12}=\frac{-4y-78}{12}$$

Dividing by 12 undoes the multiplication by 12.

$$x=\frac{-4y-78}{12}$$

Divide -78-4y by 12.

$$x=-\frac{y}{3}-\frac{13}{2}$$

Solve for y

$$y=-3x-\frac{39}{2}$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Subtract 12x from both sides.

$$4y=-78-12x$$

The equation is in standard form.

$$4y=-12x-78$$

Divide both sides by 4.

$$\frac{4y}{4}=\frac{-12x-78}{4}$$

Dividing by 4 undoes the multiplication by 4.

$$y=\frac{-12x-78}{4}$$

Divide -78-12x by 4.

$$y=-3x-\frac{39}{2}$$
